Seattle, WA

Naturally, I found myself jet-setting my first weekend back at school for summer classes and working. On Thursday of last week, I was relaxing before class and planning for a weekend of work and pretty much doing nothing. But at 12pm when I received a text from my friend Morgan's mom (yes, her mom) to come to Seattle for the weekend, my lackluster plans quickly changed. I proceeded to book my last minute flight and get to packing for the jam-packed weekend ahead of me. The second I arrived in Seattle, Morgan and I were zipping across the city, through downtown and suburbia. I think I consumed enough that weekend to survive on for a month-- my favorite food stop was by far the icecream/cookie duo at Hello Robbin. When we weren't eating deliciousness, we were sight seeing as much as we possibly could in our 48 hours together. We hit all of the must see spots, from Pike Place to Kerry Park to the famous but disgusting gum wall. I had such a blast seeing Seattle with my very own Seattlite best friend and can't wait to go back. The combination of the mountains, the water, and the city was unlike anything else. Now, I find myself back in La La Land slaving over a paper and prepping for a debate (yes, I'm being dramatic). To describe my boredom on this Memorial Day, I almost wish I had had class instead of having the day off. When you have to hail an Uber to seek out caffeine, you know you're in a tough situation. After this week, it'll be mostly smooth sailing until the end of the first session of summer classes. I have training up north in a couple of weeks for my job, and hopefully I'll be able to share that experience with you all! Until then, it's a whole lot of reading and soaking up the California sunshine. xoxo Isabelle
